A 3.4 g particle moving at 18 m/s collides with a 0.82 g particle initially at rest. After the collision the two particles have

velocities that are directed at equal angles of 51 ◦ on either side of the original line of motion of the 3.4 g particle. What is the speed of the 0.82 g particle after the collision?

Answer:

4.34 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 3.4 g

m2 = 0.82 g

u1 = 18 m/s

u2 = 0

θ = 51°

Let the velocities after the collision be v1 and v2 respectively.

Use conservation of momentum along X axis

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = m1 x v1 x Cos 51 + m2 x v2 x Cos 51

3.4 x 18 + 0 = 3.4 x v1 x 0.74 + 0.82 x v2 x 0.74

61.2 = 2.5 v1 + 0.61 v2     ... (1)

Use conservation of momentum along Y axis

0 = m1 x v1 x Sin 51 - m2 x v2 x Sin 51

3.4 x v1 x 0.67 = 18 x v2 x 0.67

2.23 x v1 = 12.06 v2

v1 = 5.41 v2

Substitute in equation (1)

61.2 = 2.5 x 5.41 v2 + 0.61 v2

61.2 = 14.1 v2

v2 = 4.34 m/s

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, ________ is being
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

A force that leads to movement of an object is known as work.

The energy present in an object due to its position in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.

For example, when Jerome is swinging on a rope then there occurs movement in the swing due to which the swing has kinetic energy.

Since, a force has been applied on the swing to make it move. Hence, a work is also done.

Therefore, we can conclude that if Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, work is being done.

A biker goes up hill with a constant speed of 10km/h. Then he goes downhill with a constant speed of 50km/h. What's his average
Sladkaya [172]

This is not as simple as it looks.  

His average speed is NOT (10km/hr + 50km/hr)/2 = 30 km/hr.

You have to use the definition of speed:

Speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Let's say the distance up (and down) the hill is 'd' .

Then the time it takes to go up the hill is (d/10) hours.

And the time it takes to come down the hill is (d/50) hours.

Total distance = 2d km

Total time = (d/10) + (d/50) = (5d/50) + (d/50) = 6d/50

Speed = distance/time = 2d/(6d/50) = 100d/6d

<em>Speed = </em>100/6 = <em>16-2/3 km/hr</em>

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light \lambda =430nm=430\times 10^{-9}m

Velocity of light is equal to v=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the frequency of light

We know that velocity is equal to v=\lambda f, here \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency of light

So frequency of light will be equal to f=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}=6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

So frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

When a hot and cold object are placed in contact, the hot one loses energy. Does this violate energy conservation? Why or why no
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

This does not violate the conservation of energy.

Explanation:

This does not violate the conservation of energy because the hot body gives energy in the form of heat to the colder body, this second absorbs energy. This will be the case until both bodies reach the same temperature, reaching thermal equilibrium and reducing the transfer of thermal energy. In this way the energy was only transferred from one body to another but the total energy of the system (body 1 plus body 2) will be the same as in the beginning, respecting the principle of conservation of energy or also called the first principle of thermodynamics .

The part of physics that studies these processes is in turn called heat transfer or heat transfer or thermal transfer. Heat transfer occurs whenever there is a thermal gradient or when two systems with different temperatures come into contact. The process persists until thermal equilibrium is reached, that is, until temperatures are equalized. When there is a temperature difference between two objects or regions close enough, the heat transfer cannot be stopped, it can only be slowed down.
